Many people are perfectly fine with using nonfree software in general,
but Alpine Linux is a free-as-in-freedom Linux distribution.

IMO we should consider the upstream unmaintained at this point, keep up
maintenance with versions shipped in Alpine stable releases (hopefully
they get security patches backported, but I'm not holding my breath),
and drop it from edge and Alpine 3.10. We should bring it back when they
sort out their licensing issues (i.e. get FSF or OSI approval), but not
before.
